Description
A classic chypre reborn with a twist — its luminous light drawn from plump May peonies, organically grown on a historic Civil War–era farm in upstate New York. Steeped in the history of the land in which they grow, as well as their own lore as a flower of protection and immortality, the blossoms are hand picked and the oils slowly suffused into fat through an ancient method of perfumery called enfleurage. With time and labor the spirit and scent of the living peony flower is carefully extracted and the oil of the blossom can then be blended with hinoki wood and elemi resin, to evoke the classic citrusy brightness of a chypre, and rosewood for earthy depth. The result is a perfume of dualities — the striking romance of peony draped in the smoky, sensual shadow of resin and wood.
